Clubs and Boliches - General Info

[Full Throttle]

I agree with your supposition. Your / our responsibility should be to get them from our hotel to their place of business. Commuting to and from their place of business to their homes defines their work commute, and is their responsibility.

Now, you can take that rational position and forget about it. That's just not the way it works in chica land. Most could get to Montevideo with the taxi fare they extract.

What is taxi fare between Marriott and Cutty.1.80Ps?

[ColdBeer]

I did the Gringo Tourist Tour last night but stayed away from the Recoleta area for a change. I hit the local places near the Marriott (where I am staying)

I started at Jazz where I counted 26 girls at 11:30 PM, several quite nice and more coming in the door, but I was intent on seeing several places and comparing. So, I then hit Cutty Sark, Cattos and Ness in that order. Quite frankly, I was impressed with all 4 locations - plenty of girls, several who spoke English or at least basic English.

I ended up back at Cutty Sark because a girl there impressed me right off the bat when I had walked in earlier. An Italian / Argentine girl named Romina. Spoke very good English, did not hit me up for a drink, provided excellent information and NO high pressure sales. She is a classic spinner - petite, small tits, nice ass. Face is fare, and the attitude was outsanding.

Took her back to the Marriott for a 2 hour romp. Total GFE and she did wipe me out. 150 pesos. Plus taxi fare. She said she works only out of Cutty Sark. If you like this body style then I would recommend her. If you want a nice size pair of tits to play with, then she is not the one for you.

There were a number of other girls in each of the other locations that could have had me last night (I'm easy) but overall, I will go back to these clubs before I go to the Recoleta clubs again this trip.

Ness was the most active - Cutty Sark the quietest - I liked the layout in Cattos. Jazz was too much like a line-up.

Just thought I would throw in my gringo observations.

What is the customary tip for a bartender and for the doorman at the clubs?

Just a few pesos will do. If a doorman helps with a cab perhaps 3-5 pesos.

As for bartenders, just round up your tab a bit. 17 pesos tab. Round up to 20 pesos etc.

Keep in mind some do not tip at all. Others tip as if in USA.

Hi OslersVoice,

If you leave with a chica: 5 pesos.

If you leave alone: Nothing

Some of them will ask for a tip when you leave alone, but I just tell them I pay a tip when I leave with a chica. Period.

They know the custom, they're just banking of the fact that you don't.

Thanks,

Jackson

I have been traveling and staying in BsAs for a couple of years on a regular basis. Although I like to think I am relatively savvy, I had an interesting thing happen last week. About 11 p. M. I wandered into Athos. I had never been there before, and was just looking for a place to have a beer. I actually thought it was a "local" bar as opposed to a "chica" bar.

Well if there is a place that "chicas" go long after they should have hung up the "clear heels" and g-strings then I think I found it. I ordered a beer before I realized where / what I was in and wasn't going to "waste" it, but maybe I should have.

There were a couple of scary sights in there, plus some barracho porteno trying to bust my pelotas.

The bar tender was pleasant and said she used to work at Salome'.

The funniest thing was as I walked out there was a chica (working type) in a short pink school girl skirt, above the knee pink tights, and platforms, "working" on Purreydon. Other than being about 10 kgs. Overweight with clown make-up on, she was not bad (TIC)

She didn't have to wait long as some guy stopped his taxi and picked her up (I assume it was a her) I laughed until I almost cried, I can imagine that conversation. " Cabbie, stop a minute while I try to negotiate with this "chica"! It was just another night in the big city.

Chau!

[Dickhead]

Oh yeah, I was with her and she was awesome. She ended up paying me every time I fucked her. And I only go out with the very very very hottest girls.

Give me the scoope on her.

[Dreamliner]

I am arriving in BA on Good Friday, and am curious what the clubs will be like over the holiday weekend? Also, does the city get quiet over the Easter holiday weekend (shops & restaurants)?

Many thanks.

The main reason it did not make the news the way it otherwise would have, is that it happened 2 days after the Tsunami.

Close to 200 people, mainly youngsters were killed when the interior of a dance club cought fire, and all the emergency exits had been locked to prevent people to get in unpaid. It also prevented them to get out of this trap.

[Bacchus9]

There was an article in Clarin on Monday with information on the club re-openings. This has been a white hot topic in BsAs ever since the fire with major government introspection, charges of irresponsibility at the level of the mayor, arrests, marches of protest and daily play in the newspapers.

At the club level I think only the discos and places that focused on dancing were actually closed. The boliches remained open but the dance floors went unused except in some of the smaller clubs where the dance spirit couldn't be smothered all together.

Now it seems that the dance clubs that have passed the new citywide beefed up inspection can re-open on a case by case basis after being granted permission in particular by the government. And it looks like they're shooting for March 1st to be back in business in general, which marks the end of summer and the return of portenos to Buenos Aires from summer vacations. A practical turning point as well as an acceptable period of public mourning.

There was a big fire a couple of months back. Many people died. It was all over the news in the US. And since Americans tend not be concerned about goings on in the rest of the world, I assume it made the news world wide.

Does anyone know the reason for the closures?
